Effect of Heat Treatment and Test Temperature on the Strength Properties of Cast Heat-Resistant Nickel Base Inconel 718 Superalloy under Shock-Wave Loading

The influence of the heat treatment regime and the initial temperature on the strength characteristics of the cast heat-resistant superalloy Inconel 718 under shock loading has been studied. For samples of four types: in the as-received state, in the as-received state with subsequent heat treatment, in the as-received state after annealing and in the as-received state after annealing and subsequent heat treatment, measurements of the Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength were carried out, based on the registration and subsequent analysis of the wave profiles in the samples under study. Shock-wave load pulses with an amplitude of ~6.5 GPa were generated using a light-gas gun. Measurement of the evolution of the shock-wave during loading—registration of the velocity profiles of the free surface of all types of samples of different thicknesses was carried out using a laser Doppler velocimeter VISAR. The measurements were carried out at a temperature of 20 °C and 650 °C. The analysis of the results revealed a noticeable effect of heat treatment and temperature on the characteristics of the elastic-plastic transition and the resistance to spalling of the Inconel 718 superalloy.
